Of the 1,004 British people surveyed in 2014, they found that almost 57 per cent of couples who slept in the nude claimed to be extremely happy together, compared with 48 per cent of those in pyjamas, 43 per cent of nightie wearers and 38 per cent of those in onesies.
Sleeping in the nude is one of the key secrets to a happy relationship. Nudity helps in encouraging openness and intimacy in a couple due to the skin-to-skin contact and thereby leads to happiness between the partners.
A survey conducted by Cotton USA, an internationally licensed trademark for quality U.S. cotton-rich products, revealed that people who sleep naked are happier in their relationships than those who sleep in pajamas, onesies, and even nighties.

Sleeping in the buff with your partner less than an inch apart from each other turns up the heat in between the sheets and leads to great sex as the touch of each other’s skin boosts oxytocin which is also known as the love hormone. Release of the oxytocin hormone makes you feel more aroused, increases the feeling of trust and makes you more ready for sexual interaction.
Besides boosting intimacy in your relationship, it also has innumerable benefits for your health. Baring yourself while sleeping with your spouse or lover builds trust both physically and psychologically. It is indeed a great way to improve and strengthen your relationship.
Here are the compiled benefits of why you should sleep naked with your partner:
Boosts your Sexual Bonding with your Partner
Dr. Jennifer Landa, the author of The Sex Drive Solution for Women said, “Sleeping naked encourages sex and sexier relationships are happier relationships.” Therefore, it is clearly evident that sleeping naked and lying beside each other in bed increases the chances of making love more than when you sleep in pajamas. And with more sex and cuddling up naked, it is natural that the intimacy between you and partner will definitely elevate.
Allows you to get Better Sleep
Sleeping naked prevents the body from overheating, and allows the body temperature to naturally go down. It also makes you feel less stressed and helps you fall asleep faster. Going to bed with your clothes on can possibly alter the natural temperature drop process, which in turn can interrupt the body’s natural sleeping cycle, leading to insomnia.
Benefits your Health
Sleeping naked has scientifically proven to benefit health. The skin-to-skin contact generates oxytocin, the hormone known for a whole lot of health benefits, including protective effect on the heart. It lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system and reduces anxiety.
Improves your Skin
Sleeping naked allows your skin to breathe, allows your body to cool down and releases anti-ageing hormones, which makes you look younger.
Protects from Fungal Infection
With your clothes on, the trapped body heat and moisture down there might increase the risk of yeast infections. It helps your private parts air out, since they are generally in a restricted warm environment more than any other body part. Sleeping naked for men has been found to help increase their virility by keeping the testes cooler and it is also found to increase fertility and sperm quality in men.
